There will be one, Nintendo isn't about to let Mystery Dungeo die. It has arguably one of the biggest fanbases of any of the Pokemon spinoffs, and brings in a good bit of publicity and revenue. Two things that makes a game series good.

Yes, the next Mystery Dungeon game will be here, most likely after the hype for Black 2 and White 2 dies down. It's probably already in development, or at the very least planning stage.
This stuff takes time, I mean they have to come up with a plot (one with meaning, a few major twists, and an emotional ending) which is a feat in itself, then comes the actual game and software development and coding (not to mention all the work that goes into creating the dungeons themselves, I mean no two dungeon maps are exactly alike, that takes effort), and than come the goodies like the WiFi connections among other things they have to add to the game.

So yeah, that's my bit of rambling. The sum of that big wall of text is: they are probably working on it, it'll take some time.

There will be another one, mark my words.

Knightfall signing off...

I posted that on May 20th. I was right.

I wonder how the 3DS format will effect the traditional dungeon crawling experience or how the game play might be changed. I can tell you for sure that I'll be finding out as soon as it hits U.S shores.

I hope there are a few more starter choices. It would be totally awesome if they ever let you pick any first evolution pokemon to play, then (almost) everyone would be happy, but I know there's no way that's going to happen.

It looks like the m-gate photos are all round things (clock, coin, plate, bald guy's head), and there's the circle on screen, so there must be some story/reasoning behind that.

Here are my predictions for the Player/Partner options. I put 6 per region. Most are the same as the ones from PMD Sky but I added extras to the regions that have less than 6. Some I picked at random lol.

Spoiler:- Starters:

Kanto:
Bulbasaur
Charmander
Squirtle
Pikachu
Vulpix
Eevee

Johto:
Chikorita
Cyndaquil
Totodile
Phanpy
Elekid
Magby

Hoenn:
Treecko
Torchic
Mudkip
Ralts
Skitty
Bagon

Sinnoh:
Turtwig
Chimchar
Piplup
Shinx
Munchlax
Riolu

Unova:
Snivy
Tepig
Oshawott
Munna
Zorua
Axew

And yeah, I hope they don't pull the whole Gender-specific starters. Hopefully when selecting a partner, we can choose it's Gender. Also all playable Pokemon can be either Gender like Female Riolu or Male Eevee etc. Not all of the Natures have been used in the Quiz so yeah...

I'm really excited for this game, I have been waiting for it since BW came out. The only thing that worries me is the graphical change, I know it's like that to suit the 3D effect, and I know change is necassery for a game to evolve, it's just that I always liked the old graphics and animations. I'll give it a try as I love the PMD series, and I hope I end up loving this aswell.

Actually, I would prefer otherwise. Evolution represents a large milestone in the Player's life, the transition from being a human in a Pokemon's body to being a full-fledged 'Mon, so forcing the choice of evolution too early on in the game would diminish the significance of that theme.

Pretty sure the main reason they didn't let you evolve during the story in the previous games was because it would mean having to create a whole new set of character portraits for their evolved forms, since your hero and partner need to be able to show their expressions and what not.

Now that the game is in 3D, I presume they'll be relying more on animations to get emotions across.

That's actually true, I think. If you use a replay or similar device to evolve you or your partner before completing the storyline, the expression portraits don't appear.

Black/White relied a lot more on animations than it's predecessors, so hopefully we'll be seeing some of that in PMD3. However, they're made by two entirely separate devolopers, if I'm not horribly mistaken.

I don't understand it at all. Since when do games revel everything the first time their showcased?

That's just it. There's nothing to understand about it. The fans know that not all info will be revealed about a game before it's released, but they'll still have their negative thoughts and speculations as to what's going to happen because there are no confirmed, straight up facts.

And since Chunsoft isn't making this, well speculated to not be making this... I hope they don't pull a Nintendo E3 2012 on us with this.

The last order is hateful in its unnecessary clarity

Only a PMD game could get me to stop being the vanishing act master I am and reappearing on Serebii.

I decided to read up on reviews of the past games (IGN being an untrustworthy reviewing source as per usual =P) and I've noticed that the only consistent complaint is the lack of polish, if you will, on the controls.

While looking at the screen shots Serebii has up (thanks for those btw), I've noticed that, unlike previous games, we actually get ALL FOUR of our moves mapped to separate buttons this time (A, B, Y, and X)!! I'm pretty excited for this game's release, I just hope it can live up to the legacy of the first two games (let's not talk about PMD wiiware).

Well, from what I've seen judging by the trailer... it doesn't look like we'll have any other playable Pokemon except Pikachu, the Unova starters, and Axew. I really hope that isn't going to be our only options for starters in this game, or I'll be very disappointed... But REGARDLESS of that, this game is looking pretty sweet. Loving the new graphics. They truly make the gameplay pop.

Nah, I still feel like they will reveal new pokemon each month.

But it does look really good! Loving the art style. I was literally freaking out when the trailer was showing all of the returning features.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but has chunsoft been confirmed yet?

To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise. What a wonderful world such would be...
